Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his Bellum Catilinae, C. Sallustius Crispus or Sallust (86-35/34 B.C.) recounts the dramatic events of 63 B.C., when a disgruntled and impoverished nobleman, L. Sergius Catilina, turned to armed revolution after two electoral defeats. Among his followers were a group of heavily indebted young aristocrats, the Roman poor, and a military force in the north of Italy. With his trademark archaizing style, Sallust skillfully captures the drama of the times, including an early morning attempt to assassinate the consul Cicero and two emotionally charged speeches, by Julius Caesar and Cato the Younger, in a senatorial debate over the fate of the arrested conspirators. Sallust wrote while the Roman Republic was being transformed into an empire during the turbulent first century B.C. The Bellum Catilinae is well-suited for second-year or advanced Latin study and provides a fitting introduction to the richness of Latin literature, while also pointing the way to a critical investigation of late-Republican government and historiography. Ramsey's introduction and commentary bring the text to life for Latin students. This new edition (updated since the 2007 printing) includes two maps and two city plans, an updated and now annotated bibliography, a list of divergences from the 1991 Oxford Classical Text of Sallust, and revisions in the introduction and commentary.

The result is that the protagonist emerges as a balanced individual, not as the villain that Cicero presents. The explication of Catiline's character is of paramount interest to Sallust, who desires to evoke the moral climate that could produce people like Catiline and his co-conspirators - figures who, despite their revolutionary tendencies, are nonetheless products of training in the old Roman virtues. Furthermore, it is possible that Sallust - aware of the parallels between himself and Catiline in terms of political careers, aspirations, and moral weaknesses - chose the attempted conspiracy of 63 BCE as his topic in part because of his interest in analyzing the social, moral, and political climate in which both he and Catiline were immersed.
